Due to their location at the south of the South Island, the Catlins are often overlooked by travellers as they're not part of the "typical tourist route" and off the main road. But let me tell you, this stunning region is so worth visiting. From rugged coastline and majestic waterfalls to dense forests and unique wildlife, the Catlins offers a truly unforgettable experience.
Come with me to explore this off the beaten path destination and immerse yourself in this natural wonderland.
My guide includes an interactive map with 27 of the best places to see, where to stay and places to eat.

🌏 I'm backpacking solo around the world since 2017, exploring new places and cultures. I love to travel off the beaten path as I think this is the best way to experience local life and discover places away from mass tourism.
🗻I've lived in New Zealand for more than 2 years, exploring this beautiful country in my van and I also lived in Australia and Uruguay for one year each.
🥥I always try to spend as much time as possible in one country to be able to explore it thoroughly. The first thing I usually do is wandering the streets to get a feel for the place, visiting local markets and also trying all the food.
🏞️🏝️I love the outdoors, hiking, chasing waterfalls, driving around with the scooter, scuba diving and snorkeling.
